Washington man cuts off arm with guillotine

A Bellingham man apparently severed his right arm on a homemade guillotine and then walked to a nearby medical clinic for help.

Police and medics received a call from employees at the clinic in the 300 block of Birchwood Avenue late Thursday morning stating a man had just arrived with a severed arm, said Mark Young with Bellingham police.

As medics took the man away for treatment at a local hospital, police went to woods near the clinic and found the severed arm and a homemade guillotine at a camp where the man had been living.

Officers brought the arm to the hospital in the hopes it could be reattached. Later, medics decided the man needed to be airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

While being treated, the man was interviewed by officers and indicated the wound was self-inflicted.

Meanwhile, other officers grabbed a chainsaw and went to go dismantle the guillotine, which Young said looked just like ones you would see in medieval times.

"It was constructed out of 2 by 6 by at least 12-feet tall timbers," Young said, adding the materials and makeshift blade were apparently found by scavenging the local area.

"A lot of thought and a lot of work and lot of preparation went into making this device, and it was apparent this individual used this device to sever his own arm," Young said.

Ford reintroduces the 1965 Mustang..46 years later

Ford Motor Co. will soon sell brand-new 1965 Ford Mustangs for just $15,000 each. The only hitch: There's some assembly required.

As part of its Ford Reproduction business, Ford revealed today it had approved a new stamping of the steel bodies for first-generation Mustang that buyers could then build into their own 1964 1/2 through 1966 Mustang, using whatever engine, axles, interior and other parts they can find on their own.

The first-generation Mustangs rank as America's most-restored vehicle, and the cottage industry of reproduction parts has grown to where it's possible to build a Mustang just as it would have appeared on the showroom floor in the mid-1960s, down to the pushbutton AM/FM radio.

Ford says the new body shell built by California-based Dynacorn has been improved only slightly with modern welding techniques and rustproofing, and comes out of the crate nearly ready for paint and assembly. The company already offers metal bodies for Mustangs from 1967 through 1970, and has been in talks with Ford to remake the original body of the Ford Bronco. There's still life in those old horses yet.

Huge 16 foot python found in Florida had just eaten a deer

Officials in the Florida Everglades have captured and killed a 16-foot (4.88-meter)-long Burmese python that had just eaten an adult deer.

Scott Hardin, exotic species coordinator for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, says workers found the snake on Thursday. The reptile was one of the largest ever found in South Florida.

Hardin says the python had recently consumed a 76-pound (34.47-kilogram) female deer that had died. He says it was an important capture to help stop the spread of pythons further north.

JOKE: The Linguistics Professor

A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day.   "In English," he said, "a double-negative forms a positive."   "In some languages, though," he continued, "such as Russian, a double-negative is still a negative. However, there is no language wherein a double-positive can form a negative."   A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An 80 year old man went to Hollywood to pick up a prostitute and get some action. He noticed one hooker in particular and started flirting with her. The prostitute started becoming annoyed and said, "Get lost old man! You're ruining business!"   "Sure would like to get some action tonight," said the old man.   "You've got to be kidding! You're too old! You're all finished."   "What did you say?" asked the old man.   "You heard me - you're all finished."   "Oh," replied the old man, "how much do I owe you?"
